Das kleine Buch der grossen Parfums

Why does the sky open up above us when we apply our favorite perfume? What does the sound of church bells on Easter morning have to do with a creation by Estée Lauder? And why can we simply not stand the smell of some people? The small book of great perfumes presents one hundred legendary classics and serves as a well-informed introduction to the world of perfumery. From Angel to Vol de Nuit, from delicate floral scents to primal masculine fragrances, to the great scents of history housed in the Versailles Perfume Museum: everything is described in such sensually nuanced detail that reading it becomes an experience. After finishing the book, there's only one thing to do: head to the nearest perfume store!.
